Can any one tell me the length of the rubber pipe which connects to the clutch slave cylinder? Only interested in the length if the rubber part so I can get a braided one made then make a solid joiner to the slave.
Many thanks

Got enough ends to make 3 up so might do that! Any chance you can get a photo of your spare one so I've got something to go off? Put a wanted thread up to borrow one but not really a thing people have laying about lol

The OEM pipe from the dealer is about £90!
I found out after I removed the original gnarly M40 donk from my touring and forgot to undo the clutch flexi from the bulkhead, it managed to lift the whole of the front end of the car in the air when I was hoisting the donk out

I guess that a braided s/s line direct from the slave to the hard line bracket will be fine,using kunifer to replace the steel part shown above will need a bracket and P clip fabricating to support the line,perhaps held by the lower cylinder stud?
